Reading to be a Good Writer

To be a good writer, you need to be a reader. This doesn't just apply to reading books in your selected field. No. You need to read everything. Writing is a constant process, whether or not you actively have a pen in your hand or you're sitting at your keyboard. Every day, every chance you get, read something. Expand your horizons. Learn something new. Then, apply it to your writing. Believe me, it helps.

About Me

From a very young age, F. R. Southerland was interested in things that weren’t quite normal. As soon as she could write, she grabbed her crayon and started scribbling out short stories about all manner of strange and paranormal creatures.

Her combined love of writing and the supernatural grew and in 2002, she began writing on her first serious piece of fiction--a short story about werewolves she called “Sweet Moon Dreams”. With a lot of work, she fleshed out the tale and published the novel--and the subsequent series it spawned--under the pen name Rose Marie Wolf.

Now, F. R. Southerland has begun rebranding herself and her author presence. She lives in Indiana with her husband and daughter and is currently working on her next novel.
